Collective Cell Motion in an Epithelial Sheet Can Be Quantitatively Described by a Stochastic Interacting Particle Model

Figure 3

Finger shapes.

Experiments (left : A, C) and simulations (right : B, D). In the simulated model, the noise amplitude depends on the density ( see Methods). Other parameters are the same as in Figure 1. (A) and (B) Examples of finger shapes. (C) and (D) Cell density in fingers as a function of the position along the finger (scale bar : ).
